We
Welcome you to Piney Woods VFW Post 4816. As you may be aware,
VFW Posts throughout the free world are established by and
for veterans of foreign wars of the United States. A common
misconception, however, is that ONLY veterans and members
of a Post may attend the functions of the Post. We want to
dispel that notion and let you know that you are invited to
our Post to join in the many activities throughout the year.
We invite you, our neighbors, to come by and be our Guest.
We'll do our very best to make you feel welcome in our Post
home..
Remember,
whether you are a veteran or not, YOU are welcome to join
in the fun and activities of our Post. We hope to see you
here soon.
Check
our our Current Events and see what
we have to offer.
Piney
Woods Post 4816 was chartered in may of 1967. Andrew (Andy)
Walker was installed as the first Post Commander. In the fall
of 1968 and under the outstanding leadership of Andy, we were
able to purchase the property behind our Post. You can still
see the original foundation of the (Goat) shed and the additions
that were made.
Under
the great leadership of Bill Burke we built the metallic building,
which was completed in 1976. At that time Andy was the Porter
area supervisor for ht Home Telephone Company. He installed
our phone lines and was able to obtain the last four digits
of 9976 to remind us of the year we completed the building.
Since
that time our Post has grown not only in the buildings but
in membership and friends as well. So stop by and become
one of the family.
